Pirate Handbook
Arr, har har! Har har harrrr!
“Wow, that’s some attack of the giggles!” you must be thinking.
Well, you’re very wrong indeed. It’s not an attack of the giggles, it’s the
first lesson a good pirate has to learn: how to let fly with a rip-roaring,
swashbuckling, terrifying guffaw that freezes your blood.
The second lesson you have to learn – and which you have to do
at the same time – is to bang your fist down hard on the table.
And harder still, while you’re still doing all this
complicated stuff… can you pick up a glass full
of water with your other hand,
without spilling a drop?
And would you be prepared to do all this
with a patch over one eye?
If you can, then you’re ready to be a pirate.
A great pirate.
What is a Pirate?
Pirates are adventurous,
bold, daring, courageous
and a little bit sneaky.
Their home is the sea;
their destiny is to wander
the oceans. They love
things that aren’t theirs,
but they only steal from
people who’ve got more
than they really need.
They tend to fall in love
easily, and they’re
real show-offs.

The Smiley
Pirate
Her smile is the
first thing you see.
Brave, fearless and agile,
she fools the enemy
with her delicate appearance.
The Hunky
Pirate
His body is covered
in tattoos, and legend
tells that on his broad back
there’s a map
of a long-lost treasure.
The Pirate Oath
The sea is your life,
the ship is your home.
The crew is your family,
and you must look
after them and love them.
Don’t give away
any secrets.
Share out the treasure
with the members of
your crew.
Don’t leave your enemy
abandoned at sea
without water, food or
a compass.
